Election Countdown - Recent (Today) Tabulation

Last edited Mon Apr 13, 2015, 01:43 AM - Edit history (1)

Well, I've accounted for 18 more days in April, an extra day next February, and voting on November 8 in 2016.

That means there are only 575 days until the 2016 election! HOORAY!

let's round it down to a mere $4billion (yes, that's billion).
That makes $7,042,253.52 a day.

Expect a lot of smoke and mirrors.
Don't expect much talk about political realities like an expected quid pro quo.

Expect to be treated like a fool.

It falls not on the first Tuesday per se, but the Tuesday after the first Monday in November.
